South Shore coffee chain Marylous is singing the blues over a federal employment-discrimination investigation, crying foul that the feds are going after its long-standing practice of hiring bubbly young bombshells to peddle the shops trademark joe.
Company vice president Ronnie Sandry told the Herald that Marylous hiring is limited by its pool of applicants, who tend to be young women from the heavily white South Shore.
When youre hiring a police officer, certain people show up, Sandry said. When youre hiring a Patriots cheerleader, certain people show up. When were hiring, certain people apply, and we have no control over it.
The company also complained about the probe to state Sen. Robert L. Hedlund, who blasted the EEOC as a meddlesome, overblown, intrusive federal agency. He said he plans to contact the local congressional delegation, and is dumbfounded the agency is probing the stalwart South Shore coffee shop.
Why, because they havent hired old overweight men who want to wear a pink T-shirt and serve coffee? Hedlund said. The federal government has better things to do with my tax dollars than to harass a legitimate business.
Marylous customers said theyre siding with the coffee shop.

Get the hell out of my legal and voluntary business relationship!
“Hello Marylou!”
So when are they going to sue the fashion industry for hiring tall, thin mostly white girls for models? Are they going to sue Hollywood for not pairing Brad Pitt and a 400 pound black woman in “Mr & Mrs. Smith”?
This is absurd.
Well I think that MaryLou should just close every one of the shops. That way all those young whities will be just as well off as the blackies and every body will then be equal. That way the EEOC will be very happy. Sounds like a win-win-win solution to me. (strong sarcasm)
This sort of thing will continue until someone with enough clout to get the message across, wakes up the public generally to a realization that this is actually an insult to all of us--including those now persuaded to seek to have the Government force someone to employ them, against that employer's will.

Owner must have really pissed someone off or maybe he didn’t pay the vig.
It's the Chicago Way after all ... Nice little business you have there. Be a shame if somethin' bad happened to it.
This would beat the snot out of Starschmucks any day of the week. Snotty “barrista” versus a bubbly young woman serving coffee...
I bet the owner just gave a large contribution to Mitt Romney and now Obama has sent his thugs at the EEOC to ruin his company.
She wasn’t hired because she is mentally ill and doesn’t prosecute the lesbian who molested her when she was a child—someone who is probably molesting other little girls. Her mother should be in prison also for allowing sick pedophiles to use her daughter and ruin not only her worldview and reality-—but to destroy and poison her body. /sarc—but not really.

...'cause you're already the football coach at the University of Kansas. Oh wait, that isn't Charlie Weis? My bad....
Where are the EEOC lawsuits against Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister?
We met at the building. He was a white guy who was surprised to see I was not white. We proceeded to meet the manager of the building, who was Hispanic, and she took us to meet the person who she did rent to (instead of the complainant)....who was from Africa and a black as Manute Bol. Even the lefty fair housing guy started to laugh....admitting he was sorry for wasting my time.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Although I must say that compared to Mark Mangino, Weis is svelte.
